how to join samba server

You need to make sure that Samba is running and properly configured on your Linux box. (type testparams to see if there are any errors in the smb.conf file.)
Next you will need to setup a username/password combo for the user to connect (addtosmbpass)
After you have done this, you should be able to connect.
The documentation that comes with Samba is very good, and will help you get started.
I would also suggest that you use SWAT to administer your Samba Server. It is much easier than manually editing your smb.conf file, and it even has the ability to add users and change users passwords.
Good Luck with it

Hi,
You need to setup samba as PDC with something like this in your /etc/samba/smb.conf :
[global]
workgroup = WHATEVER
netbios name = SAMBA1
encrypt passwords = yes
wins support = yes
domain master = yes
domain logons = yes
[homes]
read-only=no
(Those are just extracts - not the full thing)
Then set up a linux account (as root) :
# /sbin/useradd smbuser1
# passwd smbuser1
and a smbpassword (the same )
# smbpasswd -a smbuser1
Then config the win98 client and set it to use 'client for windows networks' and set the properties - under that check 'logon to NT server' and type the samba workgroup as the domain name. You don't have to get it to join the domain as you do with NT/W2K/XP clients - win9x clients are never real members of a domain.
After that restart samba and try it out :
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart
Hope this helps
